@@HOOONIER you could opt for a 40 amp fuse. It’s not ideal (but a lot of people have done it), as you’re pushing the limit of the temperature of what those wires can support tho.
@DadHacks I believe it is a 40amp fuse I'll have to go check . Also using a 6 and and xc6 Amp and xc8 amp milwaukee battery so those might be putting to much out for the 40amp use to handle ?
This is a very easy upgrade as long as the tractor is set up like this one. Also remember to use proper fuses and electrical safety practices where needed!
Be careful. The motors might burn at some point as they are probably rated for 12V and you are running them with 20V. You might want to upgrade those as well
The motors have had to be replaced once so far but they had over 100 hours on them! And it was actually the gearboxes that went out, but they were replaced as units.
The runtime is about 30 minutes for a dewalt 5 ah battery but we have several batteries so we pop the dead one out and a fresh one in and it will run for hours.
Its a deere were not impressed...with your wiring or mechanical ability. Less money, better bang, and my child gets a tour of a machine shop and an education on why plastic and 20 volt upgrades don't work. You taught your kid daddy fixes everything half ass. Either that or shit melts in the rain 😂
Idk why ppl think you can just put a higher voltage battery and call it a day. You need to add new motors to handle the 18v/24v. These stock motor are rated for 12v. Sure you can add 18v/24v battery but after a while it will burn out. Smh
We have had pretty good luck with the motors. They are also very easy and fairly cheap to replace. We have also upgraded to 24v motors but they don't run as fast. Thanks for the input!
